Starting Salary: £28,000 + DOE | Potential for Career Growth
We’re looking for an enthusiastic Woodland/Horticultural Operative to join our passionate and experienced team. This diverse role will see you involved in a variety of projects, from woodland and estate management to environmental restoration and outdoor craftsmanship. No two days are the same, and your work will make a tangible impact on the landscapes we help nurture. As this is a new area of the business, you’ll have the opportunity to shape the role, drive future projects, and establish best practices.
Key Responsibilities:
* Assist with woodland and estate management, including tree work, forestry, and vegetation management
* Take part in creating wildflower meadows, installing ponds, planting trees, and other landscaping activities
* Support the creation of bespoke woodland furniture and participate in woodland crafts
* Work outdoors in varying weather conditions, ensuring the highest standards of safety and environmental care
* Collaborate with the team while also being able to work independently
* Continuously learn and develop your skills in woodland management, horticulture, and conservation
What We’re Looking For:
We value passion for the environment just as much as experience. If you’re a hard worker with a love for the outdoors and a willingness to learn, we want to hear from you! Key attributes we’re looking for include:
* A strong work ethic, reliability, and attention to detail
* The ability to thrive in a team or work independently with minimal supervision
* Physical fitness and the stamina to handle the physical demands of the role
* A willingness to adapt to changing conditions and technologies
* A passion for learning and professional development
Desirable Experience & Qualifications (not essential):
While prior experience is an advantage, it’s not essential. We’re happy to support the right candidate in gaining relevant skills and certifications. However, the following would be beneficial:
* Understanding of Woodland Flora and Fauna
* Certification or training in arboriculture, forestry, or a related field
* Previous practical experience in agriculture, forestry, or horticulture
* Experience operating chainsaws or other tree care tools
* Knowledge of habitat management and sustainability practices
* Interest or experience in woodland crafts and environmental conservation
* Full UK driving license (preferred)
If you’re looking for a rewarding career that combines hands-on work with a genuine passion for the environment, we’d love to hear from you.
